Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's decision that the entrance examination conducted by K.M. Shah Dental College was not fair and transparent, violating principles of fairness in educational admissions. The Court emphasized the need for regulatory bodies like the Dental Council of India to establish clear timelines for entrance examinations to prevent irregularities. The judgment referenced the decision in P.A. Inamdar vs. State of Maharashtra, affirming that while colleges may conduct their own examinations, they must adhere to fair practices as mandated by law.
